About Atharvaveda in Marathi अदभूत अथर्ववेद

The procedures for everyday life; knowledge storehouse in 4th Veda, in Marathi

The Atharva Veda (Sanskrit: अथर्ववेद, meaning "knowledge") is the "knowledge storehouse of atharvāṇas, the procedures for everyday life". The text is the fourth Veda, but has been a late addition to the Vedic scriptures of Hinduism.

The Atharvaveda is composed in Vedic Sanskrit, and it is a collection of 730 hymns with about 6,000 mantras, divided into 20 books. About a sixth of the Atharvaveda text adapts verses from the Rigveda, and except for Books 15 and 16, the text is in poem form deploying a diversity of Vedic matters. Two different recensions of the text – the Paippalāda and the Śaunakīya – have survived into modern times. Reliable manuscripts of the Paippalada edition were believed to have been lost, but a well-preserved version was discovered among a collection of palm leaf manuscripts in Odisha in 1957.

The Atharvaveda is sometimes called the "Veda of magical formulas", an epithet declared to be incorrect by other scholars. In contrast to the 'hieratic religion' of the other three Vedas, the Atharvaveda is said to represent a 'popular religion', incorporating not only formulas for magic, but also the daily rituals for initiation into learning (upanayana), marriage and funerals. Royal rituals and the duties of the court priests are also included in the Atharvaveda.

The Atharvaveda was likely compiled as a Veda contemporaneously with Samaveda and Yajurveda, or about 1200 BC - 1000 BC. Along with the Samhita layer of text, the Atharvaveda includes a Brahmana text, and a final layer of the text that covers philosophical speculations. The latter layer of Atharvaveda text includes three primary Upanishads, influential to various schools of Hindu philosophy. These include the Mundaka Upanishad, the Mandukya Upanishad and the Prashna Upanishad.

अथर्ववेद हा चार वेदांपैकी एक वेद आहे. या वेदात विविध प्रकारचे अभिचारमंत्र म्हणजे जारणमारणमंत्र आणि इतर जादूचे मंत्र मोठ्या प्रमाणावर संगृहीत केले आहेत. ह्यातील बहुसंख्य ऋचांचा साक्षात्कार अथर्वन् नामक ऋषीला झाल्यामुळे ह्या वेदास अथर्ववेद हे नाव प्राप्त झाले, असे म्हटले जाते. अथर्वन् म्हणजे मनुष्यजातीस उपकारक ठरणाऱ्या पवित्र जादूचे मंत्र.
